Crowd Calendar Levels 7 vs. 8 vs. 9

[gulliesmom]

Can anyone tell me if there really is a noticeable difference between a CL of 7 vs. 8 or a CL of 8 vs. 9? Trying to pick parks for certain days and wondering if there really is that big of a difference.

Also, are there certain parks where CL might be high but it doesn't "feel" as crowded? I remember HS feeling empty when we went a few years ago, even though it was busy. Wondering if it is better to do a CL of 8 or 9 in a larger park, and do a lower CL in MK, for example. I feel like I should take advantage of the lowest CL for MK and AK maybe since those have more rides we would actually go on.

I don't put a lot of stock in crowd predictions. I do look at them and use them as a point of reference, i.e. if one park is 2 on a certain day and another one is a 5, I'll go with the 2. But trying to decipher between a 7 and an 8 or 9 or a 10 is splitting hairs a bit, I think. In my mind I lump them, like 1 - 3 is lower, 4 - 7 is moderate and 8 - 10 is busiest.

The only person who can answer that is you. It's 100% subjective. A "7" to you may be a "3" to someone else and a "12" to another person.

Generally speaking, MK has a few narrow points that can feel crowded, as does HS. But again, subjective. Don't look at crowd calendars.

I think Epcot always feels less crowded on the busiest of days. I agree with the person who said 1-3 is low, 4-7 busy, 8-10 really busy. It's really all your perspective though.
